Network blocks and bans

Reasons for being blocked from the network

You will be blocked from the network if we detect that your device has become infected with a virus. This is to prevent the virus spreading throughout our network.

If you fail to abide by the Conditions of use of IT facilities policy, you will be blocked. Please read and familiarise yourself with the policy.

Lift a block

First, second and third blocks are automatically lifted after 48 hours. After four blocks your network service will be withdrawn for fourteen days. After a fifth, we will block your access to the Halls network permanently.
